• EDITORIAL CONSULTATION

Along with my writing, I provide a range of editorial services to a small clientele of writers who are seeking help in telling their stories, or completing their books. The services I provide are geared to the particular needs of the writer and the project; they include reading and reacting to manuscripts; identifying the story structure, preparing outlines, proposals and sample chapters; editing and/or polishing completed manuscripts; and/or ghostwriting the piece, as needed.

``Jamie taught me the style of writing my book needed and, more importantly, he gave me the confidence that I could pull it off. He brought a superb, critical eye every step of the way. It was a delight working with him. I’m proud to call Jamie not just my writing teacher but my friend.''

--Lawrence Levy

‘‘Your polish on prose is truly a thing of beauty.’’ —Maneet Ahuja

‘‘My agent asked Jamie to take a last look at my book just before he sent it to publishers. Jamie's insightful suggestions about its organization sent me back to my computer for sixty more days. In the end, the book was submitted on a Thursday and on the following Thursday, Scribner bought it. Jamie, who has become a good friend, made a huge contribution to that result.’’ —David Berg

‘‘I have nothing but kudos for the work you do.’’ —Henry Bushkin

‘‘Jamie Malanowski is not only a great editor, but a superb teacher. I warn you, he is frank, but right on target. I recommend him without reservation.’’ —Bob Wilkins
